Family Law

Chanhassen Family Law Attorneys

Understanding the financial and legal consequences involved in a divorce or family law dispute is essential when evaluating options before entering court or a negotiating room. At . Mertz, Bledsaw and Benson, our family law attorneys explain how a divorce, child custody arrangement, pre-nuptial agreement, or child support judgment affects our client’s financial and legal situation. Especially in cases involving divorce, it’s essential that clients understand how property, investments, debts, and proceeds from a trust or will are likely to be divided. We protect our client’s interests by making sure they aren’t left with a disproportional amount of debt from joint loans and credit cards, while asserting their rights in custody and visitation disputes.

We help fight for what’s best for you and your family. If you’re uncertain what steps to take in getting a divorce or establishing custody of your children, contact the law office of Mertz, Bledsaw & Benson, P.S.C. today.

When both parties are willing to work together in order to avoid a bitter, costly court battle, negotiation is an effective means for allowing you to control the terms of your divorce or family law dispute. Rather than enter the courtroom as adversaries where a judge will decide what terms to impose on you and your ex-spouse, collaborative law puts you in charge of the terms of your divorce settlement. Our lawyers assist clients in identifying common ground in regard to the custody of children, division of property, and visitation arrangements. Reaching mutually agreeable terms, we negotiate settlement terms that reflect your needs and honor your long-term goals.
